If baby's head is in the clouds or a book, Skyra makes a delightful choice. Meaning "scholar," it comes from the Late Latin term scholaris. As a variant of Skyler and Skylar, Skyra has its roots in the Dutch surname Schuyler. Although this surname is no longer in the Netherlands, it came from New York and New Jersey Dutch settlers. Beginning with Philip Schuyler, this family paved the way in incorporating a Dutch-influenced culture in New York politics and economics. Baby Skyra is the scholarly star in the making of your family, destined to follow in the legacy of their name.
